청춘 블라썸 1

Seasons of Blossom #1

by HONGDUCK, NEMONE (Illustrator), 홍덕

거짓말로 시작된 로맨스, 그리고 봄날의 성장통… 네이버웹툰 인기 연재작!

‘좋아한다’는 감정은 언제 시작되어 어디로 흘러갈까? 이 의문에 대한 답을 찾기 위해 그려지는 수많은 이야기 속에 가장 한국적이면서도 보편적인, 그렇지만 뻔하지 않은 작품이 여기에 있다. 『청춘 블라썸』은 봄, 여름, 가을, 겨울 4계절에 빗댄 관계 속에서 다양한 청춘들의 이야기를 담은 작품이다. 이번에 출간된 시즌1 ‘보미의 꽃’ 편은 네 명의 고등학생이 거짓과 오해, 진실이 뒤섞인 상황 속에서 자신과 상대방의 마음을 소중히 여기며 진정한 사랑과 우정을 찾아간다. 특히 이 작품은 네이버웹툰 중에서도 인기작답게, 학원청춘물의 가장 핵심인 ‘감정의 존재와 흐름’에 대해 섬세하게 그려내어 알쏭달쏭하고 간질간질한 첫 연애 감정이 그대로 전달된다. 또한 간결하지만 각 캐릭터의 성향이 오롯이 드러나는 작화, 영상을 보는 듯한 연출, 디테일한 대사로 청춘영화를 보는 듯한 기분이 들기도 한다. 동시에 서로의 상황과 아픔을 진정으로 이해하기까지의 과정도 그리고 있어, 단순히 로맨스에 치중하지 않은 공감성장물이라는 점도 이 작품의 특징이다. 추운 겨우내 움츠러들었던 몸과 마음이 성큼 다가온 ‘봄’에 미리 설레고 있는 요즘, 모두가 이토록 사랑스러운 ‘청썸’으로 함께 썸 타보기를, 주변의 모든 것을 마음껏 사랑하며 함께 성장하기를 고대한다. 현재 웹툰은 총 네 개의 시즌 중 시즌3 ‘가을의 꽃’ 편이 연재되고 있으며, 인기를 반영하듯 드라마(플레이리스트 스튜디오 제작)와 애니메이션으로도 제작 예정이다.

review for story acrs: Bomi's Flower & Hamin's Flower

it was a bittersweet ride of emotions. as i embarked the story of bomi, it was a fleeting feeling. it satiates my tastes for a fluff because of their cute relationship with each other as well as her friendship with seonhee. afterwards, it became the exact opposite of tenderness as i finished reading hamin's flower. it was all pain i could not help but cry because it all hits home. to be honest, i thought this would be just like any other webtoon but it surpasses my expectations. the realism it tackles about family, friendship, love, and the individuality each characters have got me hooked. i loved it so much that i want to reread it again even if hamin's flower would hurt me again.

“Because that short time with you had been the only moment I could be completely myself”

[Leila ✨ · Rating 4 out of 5]

"We cried, laughed and at times fought over trivial matters. Our hearts aflutter over the littlest things... unaware that this warmth did not come equally to all, and therefore the cold was felt all the more bitterly by those it did not reach."

No soy muy fan de reseñar webtoons por temporadas (reseño todas las temporadas como un único webtoon y listo), pero como cada temporada de "Seasons of Blossom" tiene distintos protagonistas, y una trama diferente, decidí reseñar cada temporada por su cuenta.

Esta primera parte me encantó. No sé qué más decirles además de A) fue mi primera vez leyendo un webtoon con la trope de "fake-dating" y B) estoy completamente enamorada del protagonista de esta temporada. ¿Cada vez que se le ponían rojas las orejitas? I died a little de lo tierno que era. Y el rubio también es un bombón y se merece absolutamente todo lo bueno de este mundo.

No creo leer 청춘 블라썸 2 ahora porque tengo la serotonina re alta gracias a estos dos protas hermosos, y no tengo ninguna intención de ponerme a leer algo que sé que me va a destruir right now.

Btw qué onda el chabón de anteojitos al que los malotes usaban de esclavo ??? en los primeros capítulos dieron a entender como que iba a tener alto protagonismo, y acá con toda la furia apareció 3 veces... I'm curious about him.

4 de 5 estrellas.

SO CUTE !! both ml and fl were very enjoyable and so were the side characters (ESPECIALLY JAEMIN, MY HEART). THE WAY JINYEONG EARS WOULD ALWAYS GO RED AFTER BEING WITH BOMI UEHSHSHD. the confession scene was chefs kiss, the tippy toes hashjajdnnjnnb.

[Aisha (never learnt how to read) · Rating 5 out of 5]

spring is the soft, warm, feathery feeling that tickles your heart and makes you feel or remember the joys of love. i live for a tall girl x smoll boy romance!! and i absolutely love how blunt jinyeong is. go boy! don't beat around the bush!

summer is the sudden joy of sunshine and rain, the intensity of both love and heartbreak- hamin's story is so painfully real, and even though i know it ends sadly, i am glad to know he was so loved. and that the ripples of that love touched so many people, and saved so many more.

autumn is that short, bittersweet feeling that becomes a memory that lives on and on in your chest. something to draw from and hold in your heart. something to hope for in better times. gaeul and subin are probably my favourite couple. i know they could not be together as they were, but i look forward to when they find each other again.

winter feels like it could go on forever and forever, and just when you think it will, the wind breaks and the sun fills your face again. what hope and glad times it brings!

seasons of blossom is such a heart rendering story. i think the authors really did such a good job in using a period of time to tell a whole tale. there was no flourish to it; everythign felt like it fell in place so beautifully. these are stories about real people! and i care for them like i know them :,)

This manhwa is divided four separate shorter stories. This review is for chapters 01-30, the section titled "Spring" or "Bomi's Flower".

1. Really cute romance between a nice girl who's kindof a doormat and an idgaf gamer boy. It also has the fake dating trope, and while this manifestation of it felt less "fake" than most versions, it's still one of my top tropes. Very light and fluffy for the most part, with some genuinely sweet moments and a fair number of funny bits. (That's only for this season though- I'm told S2 is a straight-up tragedy and I haven't gotten to reading that one yet.)

2. This one gives me ホリミヤ 1 vibes in the way it doesn't exactly focus on the main ship. The side characters and their platonic relationships with other members of the cast are equally important. Just kiddos hanging out and trying to navigate through friends and romance. More emotionally aware than Horimiya , though.

3. Shoutout to that one bitchy girl with a crush who feels like she was transplanted here from a manhwa with less 3D characters. I appreciate your role in the plot to serve as the antagonist, kid.

"...No puedo dejar de pensar en ti."

En realidad, esta reseña iba a ir en conjunto con la reseña de la segunda y parte de la tercera temporada de esta serie, pero me percaté que el autor distribuyó las temporadas por distintos libros, así que escribiré aquí solamente mis pensamientos acerca de la temporada 1 ♡

"Pero... si antes sentías lo mismo que siento yo ahora... espero sigas sintiéndolo."

| Primavera | Esta es la primera estación con la que nos adentra la novela; y he de decir que ¡me encantó! Bomi me pareció una chica muy linda (no solo por su físico, sino también en su personalidad), Seonhui, su mejor amiga, me encantó; al igual que Jaemin, un personaje maduro (y agradezco esto, porque a pesar de que no se quedó con la chica, supo respetar la decisión de ella y nunca se sobrepasó con ciertas actitudes). Y Jinyeong, ¡pero que personaje para más lindo! Su relación con Bomi es de mis favoritas que he leído en webtoon.

"Y de pronto descubrí... que mi mirada se perdía siempre en tu sonrisa."

coerced review for a friend about the entire first book/series/idk what it's called:

it's my first time reading this type of book and the vibes are so asian (i say this affectionately). it's also really nostalgic for some reason :)

spring: too cliche but i used to watch super cliche cdramas so this was okayyy

summer: LITERALLY SO DIFFERENT FROM SPRING; we go from a wholesome love story to something so profound i wouldn't have expected... it was very touching and inspiring overall :D

fall: my favourite season was ruined by this i'm sorry but bully tropes 🤮 (though the main character was fine i guess)

winter: TIED WITH SUMMER BEING THE BEST; we see characters from all the other seasons and i love how everything was tied together in the end! again, very thoughtful and reflective of the themes about the value of life, friendships, and love <333

[Lucy Tonks (the invisible life of a reader) · Rating 5 out of 5]

i adore this manhwa. rereading this has made me remember how cute this is and just how many details i missed when reading for the first time.
like jaemin being uncomfortable when talking about siblings??? how did that go over my head 😭

[almu · Rating 4 out of 5]

Idk I’m trying to do the math so that I can line up the volumes here with the eps on webtoon but I’m pretty sure I got it wrong

[Elena · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.5 This was an amazing and cry-worthy coming-of-age webtoon with beautiful art and an even more beautiful message on friendship, love and finding your reason to live. The story takes you through four different arcs following a different teenager/young adult overcoming their insecurities and past traumas, fighting for what they want and reaching out for help. It talked about depression, sibling death, awful bullying and suicide, so it wasn't a happy-go-lucky teenage story, but one that will leave you in tears and a chest full of emotions.

My favourite arc was the 2nd one, which related to the story of Jeamin and his older brother (Haemin)'s past girlfriend Somag both of whom are still struggling to come to terms with Heamin's suicide after 6 years since the incident. This story left me in tatters, decimated... but I needed it so much, I needed the emotional release it gave me, I guess some people call that feeling, catharsis. I truly recommed this webtoon to any comic lover, it was fantastic

spring - bomi/jinyeong:

super cute and whimsy and joyful! i loved all of the characters and how distinct each one of them were. the romance was also really nicely set up, even if it was a corny ahh fake dating trope

the romantic tension in some scenes was good too and this manhwa is bustling so many with characters and scenes and events it feels like a movie in my head, like i can hear and see everything going on instead of it being simply text on the page
i also really liked how each realistic the romance felt
their progression of feelings for each other throughout the story felt natural and made sense with the characters

i loved how they portrayed bomi's crush on jaemin as a the warm, fluttering, yet fleeting feelings of spring, something that warms the heart but isn't set and doesn't last forever verses jinyeong's portrayal of something unexpected, a change unprecedented yet somehow still touching, like the peace found after the dust settles and the changes subside, a grounding feeling of comfortable discomfort
it truly made bomi's feelings for jinyeong more set in stone, more nurtured and blossoming versus the light crush on jaemin which scattered too soon
i also liked how the manhwa repeatedly paralleled spring and youth, expressing the puzzling path of life, love, friends, and school in such a realistic manner, diving headfirst into new situations, taking chances, being young

i loved how it reiterated that youth is messy, it's going to be messy, but the mess that's created are more than just mess, they're memories, they're love, and that's life

and with all romance, my favorite is when they focus on more than just the romance i loved seeing the friendship between bomi and seonhui grow over the course of this arc, through the honesty of their feelings to their acknowledgement and understanding of each others, despite their differences and watching the friendships blossom beteeen the other characters was just as heartwarmina and endearing

the pacing was good too, as the author did a good job building suspense when needed through flashforwarding to whatever grand event (fake dating, gyuri) they wanted to portray
i thought this was a good technique to keep the readers going, especially since the event they foreshadowed too would usually happen 2-4 chapters ahead

i also really enjoyed the small details throughout the story that both established the world but also the characters themselves like, we all know, jinyeong's ear blush or when the curtain hit gyuri or jaemin's uncomfort, or seonhui's gradual upset
or the hint abt the next arc after jinyeong's and bomi's chance meeting at the bookstore

the art itself is amazing, gorgeous, and easy on the eyes, maintaining a light, whimsical, heartwarming feel for a high school/college (?) setting manhwa
i truly cannot think of a genuine criticism for this story, as i thoroughly enjoyed pretty much all of it
i assume dongchae's story will be discussed in a diff arc.?

but other than that, a good arc 4.5/5 LOLL maybe even 5/5 but i'll see


——

hamin/somang's arc:

i cried so much frfr my favorite arc

so realistic and amazing at portraying their emotions

i literally couldn't stop crying at the last five chapters like brah

idk what to even say bruh evetythjt was just so beautiful and just somang consoling jaemin was so comforting, so bittersweet, and just so much to me
hamin we love you and u will be missed u shouldn't have deleted ur damn msg god damn it

i felt most things here hit close to home i guess which is why i cried so much.. that suffocating feeling of inadequacy and vying for unobtainable perfectionism and selflessness wrought on by the pressure of unrelentingly restrictive parents ...
reading through how both hamin and somang brought radiance into each others lives was so sad
they were so good together...

they needed each other...

and reading how jaemin struggles to process his grief and his pent up emotions is honestly just so crazy

like seeing his friends come together and build from everything from the first arc seeing how jaemin has a real support group who cares for him

idk just seeing everything come together and somang's care relieve jaemin from his grief and torment is so sweet and sad and it actually means so much to me idk what to even say

i just think basically the portrayal of the difficulties we face to have the beauties of life are so well described and impactful in this arc, from the feeling of being alive for the first time to knowing that people care for you, to the isolating feeling of simply being... everhtbjnt ws so beautifully written...

i love how each character aren't getting less relevant but more fleshed out through the story, even if it's not about them (the side characters too
i loved how this story portrayed life, from its radiance to its struggles

i loved how this story deliberately expressed how the actions of one character ripppled throughout the others, that an event isn't gone unnoticed, how despite its insiginifance in the grand scheme of things, the ripples still reverberate reaoundly among those affected

idk it just felt so realistic and harrowingly depressing i loved this arc so much

——

ok gaeul's arc was good but lowk a 7/10 or 4/5ish

i still love that we see all our characters from before but with how they tried to do two romances (seonhui and subin/gaeul) lowk made it a little messy and less fleshed out idk i wish we got more individual focus on each of the stories to be truly immersed in the story like with the first two seasons either way, i liked both stories and i love that the authors don't typically do cliches so seeing bittersweet endings are always nice i wonder if we'll get more conclusion about uri and her boytoy but i mean the twoish panels that conclude their story are fine
i wonder if jaemin also finds love himself, but that might be what the sequel is for i still love all the side characters because they're so funny and the authors always makes sure to pay enough attention to them, which is great

i nearly cried when gaeul discussed his bullying story, so that means it was well written and emotional enough to emit a response LOL
it felt kind of rushed though, i don't know, i wish they had more chapters or emphasis on it itself
or like discussed when subin called gaeul disgusting more

it felt like lacking a little bit and it def could have been expanded on more (ie what happened after subin called her stinky? did they address it or did i forget, or like what about when she told her mom? why didn't her mom want her to move? be of the bullies idk...)

i liked the conclusion between seonhui and jaemin, but i wish the courting scenes beteeen seonhui and the guy (im so sorry bro) were more concrete and realistic... i mean they made sense but it also felt like it was missing something but idk what srry...
i mean overall, v good v realistic, i really loved the ending and i wish the two bullies received more justice and was completely cut off by subin

——

for dongchae’s flower, def a 4.5/5 or 5/5

again one of my favorite things about this manhwa is how every story connects with each other and how hamin’s death and the consequences are woven throughout each tale

rlly shows how drastic of an effect someone’s suicide can have on others.. from guilt, doubt, to even being the reason someone moves forward with their life

i genuinely loved how dongchae’s attempt paralleled hamin’s in every way, yet the lived and learned experiences of each character gave them the abilities and the strength to reach out to dongchae before it was too late, doing what they couldn’t and didn’t understand many years ago

like seeing the desperation from jaemin, subin, somang, and especially eunchae to save dongchae’s life paralleling them reaching out towards hamin (gaeul in subin’s case) and doing what they were unable to do before was just so poetically beautiful…. hongduck and nemone when i get you…

i definitely cried a lot of times and i felt very warm in my chest to see dongchae reflect on his life and his will to live after all that happened, it feels so sweet to see him finally have a group that will stand by him and allow him to see that his life is one worth living despite all the hardship and pain he had to endure

it was also beautiful to see how jaemin is able to forgive and understand dongchae’s actions for accidentally exposing hamin’s art school expeditions and encouraging him to move on, that at the end of the day, there’s no more that can be done about it and despite that, no one action caused hamin’s decision, rather it was many pieces to a whole and that still, dongchae too also played a role in encouraging hamin to spend time with jaemin, giving him the precious experiences in his life that he may have never seen

moreover, i’m glad to see that the bullies were able to get some justice thrown upon them, not just ujae, but also the two from gaeul’s story, giving a slightly more satisfying conclusion

also loved reading about dongchae’s love for eunchae and her finding out about his bullying being one of his main reasons for certainty to commit… such beautiful sibling love and although he wanted to protect her the most… he definitely wasn’t in the right place… but i guess the isolation and ignorance of everyone around him towards his own situation will drive someone to be desperate enough to take such drastic actions…

——

overall, again, i loved each characters’ appearances and being able to see the relationships among every character develop and grow with time, i enjoyed the efforts, no matter how big or small, to contribute towards saving dongchae’s life, and i loved how inviting and supportive each character was to each other other, despite their differences and histories (bomi and that one girl i forgot her name LOL)

each character feels pretty realistic and you can see how they have changed because of the experiences in their lives

i loved each season of this manhwa and i felt that each story was impactful in its own way, from the blossoming of a new romance, from the sweltering suffocating sweats of summer, to the changing of tides and beliefs of fall towards new romance and characters, to the chilling, sinking feelings of winter that seem to freeze one over

i felt that the authors did an amazing job portraying each arc and that each story was definitely worth reading

thank u hongduck and nemone for this beautiful read…

[Sol Matias · Rating 4 out of 5]

La historia fue demasiado dulce, a pesar de esto me gusta como retrata los lazos de cada personaje y como se van formando poco a poco. Además de que nos dieron pequeñas pistas del dolor que nos espera en la siguiente temporada, voy preparando los pañuelos.

[Rach' B · Rating 5 out of 5]

Reseña:

Esta historia abarcará 4 temporadas, primavera, otoño, invierno y verano, cada estación nos llevará a la historia de diferentes personajes, sin embargo, todos ellos están conectados.

1era estación: Primavera-Bomi

Esta estación nos cuenta la historia de Bomi, una chica que podría entrar en la categoría de perfecta; bonita, amable, buena estudiante y femenina. Todo parece ser perfecto para ella, incluso su interés amoroso es uno de los chicos más cotizados del instituto, Jaemin, y ciertamente este tiene sentimientos recíprocos por ella.

Pero todo esto se caerá en cuanto su mejor amiga, seonhui, confiese que tiene sentimientos hacía él, es por ello que Bomi se ve en al necesidad de mentir sobre sus sentimientos, diciendo que su crush de hecho es Jinyoung, uno de los chicos "invisibles" y adicto a los videojuegos de la clase. Su mejor amiga al no creerle genera una presión sobre Bomi, llevando a esta a crear una relación falsa junto a Jinyoung. ¿Hasta que punto llegará esa mentira hasta que Seonhui crea que su "verdadero" crush es Jinyoung y no Jaemin?

2da estación: Summer- Hamin

Esta historia nos contará la vida de Hamin, el hermano mayor de Jaemin.

Todo esto ocurre cuando al estar de paseo con sus amigos, una chica desconocida choca con ellos, en cuanto ella se recupera del impacto, denota sorpresa al ver a Jaemin, tanta es aquella emoción, que toma su cara entre las manos y comienza a llorar. ¿Quién es esta chica y por qué llora al verlo?, pero los más importante, ¿por qué lo llama por el nombre de su difunto hermano?

Esta desconocida responde al nombre de Somang, ex-compañera de instituto de Hamin. Este chico no era conocido por su hermano como alguien que tenía amigos, es por ello que la existencia de esta chica se muestra como una gran incógnita al ver que ella se muestra como alguien que conocí realmente bien a su hermano.

Somang será la principal narradora para conocer la historia de Hamin, esta le contará sobre su hermano a Jaemin, ya que este murió cuando el era muy joven, esto a cambio que el pose para ella, debido a que conforme pasan los años, ella esta olvidando la cara de Hamin.

Este trato abrir en ellos muchas heridas que se encontraban ocultas en sus corazones, así mismo tendrán respuestas y esperanzas en muchas otras.

¿Por qué Jaemin nunca había mencionado a su hermano y se hacía llamar hijo único?,¿por que el verano es un momento tan doloroso para Somang?

¿Que llevo a Hamin a terminar con su vida?

3ra estación: Otoño - Gaeul's flower



En esta estación tenemos como protagonista a Gaeul, la podremos conocer por ser la mejor amiga de Somang en el temporada pasada. Gaeul es un chica que a primera vista se puede mostrar como alguien intimidante o como una bad girl, pero más que todo esto es como un mecanismo de defensa.

La historia comienza en cuanto Gaeul se topa con Subin; un compañero universitario, bastante popular entre las personas, con especien de Gaeul, pues desde el comienzo de su interacción ella se muestra bastante hostil en lo que respecta a su existencia. Lo que el no sabe, es que este comportamiento es debido a que Gaeul lo recuerda; ambos siendo estudiantes del mismo instituto, él siendo parte del grupo de amigos de aquellos chicos que hacían bullying a Gaeul, este acontecimiento marcó demasiado el la vida de la protagonista, y le dejó una herida de la cual tal vez nunca podrá deshacerse, es por ello su odio hacia Subin.

¿Pero como se desarrollará esta historia cuando ambos comiencen a conocer más del otro, cuando bajen sus murallas?

Seonhui es otra importante protagonista, aquí podemos ver como se desarrollará para ella el romance, ¿dejará los sentimientos que siente por Jaemin de lado?

4ta estación: Invierno- Dongchae's Flower

Dongchae es uno de los chicos invisibles, a los cuales se les prefiere ignorar, y toda esta historia lo demuestra cuando ni siquiera él es quien narra su historia, o tiene un rostro dibujado.

Dongchae es victima del bullying, y es uno de las victimas de un grupo entero de bullying, estos aparte de golpearlo lo obligan a hacer cosas en contra de muchas reglas, y debe mantener su boca cerrada o las consecuencias serán peores.

Toda esta historia es en parte narrada bajo la preocupación de su hermana menor, quien ha visto como su hermano a cambiando drásticamente además de señales visibles en su cuerpo, podemos conocer también la situación de bullying bajo los ojos de otras personas; únicamente llegaremos a conocer sus pensamientos en los momentos donde el este llegando a las últimas de su aguante.

¿Hasta que punto puede llegar una victima dle bullying?, ¿cuanto perderá en el proceso?

Opinion personal:

1era estación: Primavera-Bomi:

Esta temporada fue súper soft y llena de color rosa. Bomi y Jinyoung son los opuestos más lindos, y me encanta como ambos son la ayuda del otro para abrirse un poco más al mundo, y conforme la historia avanza( refiriéndome a otras temporadas) son de las parejas más lindas que he leído en mucho tiempo. Creo que ambos muestran una relación muy sana en toda la historia, son personaje que a pesar de tener ciertos problemas consigo mismo, no dejan que esto afecte directamente a su pareja; creo que es el ejemplo de una pareja linda y sana.

También amo mucho a los amigos de Jinyoung, son el complemento perfecto para la historia, sin sus aportes sin duda sentiría que falta esa pizca.

2da estación: Summer-Haemin

Nunca creí que un verano me hiciera sufrir tanto... sin duda esta historia es de las que más me han dañado emocionalmente.

Toda esta historia es algo muy duro de leer, toca temas muy sensibles como el suicido, duelo/luto, exigencia escolar, problemas familiares...

Ponerse en la piel de Hamin fue doloroso, ya sea porque pude identificarme con él, como por todo lo que respecta a su historia, y el cómo está pudo arrastrar de otras maneras a los demás personajes. Él quiso dejar todo para que pudieran darle la oportunidad a Jaemin de vivir, incluso si eso se refería a perder todos esos momentos, renunciar a todo... incluso a lo que el quería y amaba, y a quienes el amaba. El cómo representan su punto de quiebre al ver que todo aquello que siempre ha querido lo está teniendo, está sucediendo, y el hecho que exista esa felicidad significa que puede perderla... y que no está preparado para ello.

Jaemin se hecha mucho la culpa sobre la muerte de su hermano, sobre no conocerlo, cuando el no es el responsable, puedo, y voy, a culpar a sus padres. El como exigen tanto a Hamin hasta romperlo, el como luego de su muerte actúan como si este nunca hubiera existido, y obligan a Jaemin a que todo eso siga así, el no puede preguntar por él o llorarle, tiene que llegar al punto que únicamente puede conocer a su hermano por parte de Somang, y no es justo, nunca se debe negar que alguien esté de luto.

Por otro lado leer a Somang lastima, el como su amor nunca podrá llegar a aquello tan lindo que pudo ser, que siempre existirá el "¿qué hubiera pasado si...". Su forma de sanar y continuar a pesar de la herida, se me hizo muy linda, su forma de avanzar sobre la muerte de Hamin es algo que ella necesitaba y al hacerlo a su manera y tiempo fue lo mejor que pudo.

3ra estación: Otoño - Gaeul's flower

Esta historia también fue algo dura de leer, el tema del bullyin y como este deja heridas insanables en las personas; pero también creo que toca mucho el tema de los amigos, las amistades, o mejor dicho el círculo de amigos, que tienen las personas nos da una idea clara, tal vez no correcta, de cómo y quién es la persona.

El círculo de amigos de Subin eran claramente unas malas personas, es por ello que personas que lo conocieron por ellos, lo comparaban con todo lo que ellos hacen.

Y Lugo está Somang, que quiera o no influencio mucho en que Gaeul siguiera viva, ya sea por un poco de presión devido a la reciente pérdida de Hamin.

También creo que "la venganza", fue muy buena, amo las venganzas, y ver a la chica que le hizo la vida insufrible a Gaeul, sufrir, fue de lo mejor. Entiendo el porqué ella al final no se queda feliz después de ver lo que hizo, pero también creo que era algo que necesitaba hacer, y el irse del país fue algo muy sano para ella.

Por el lado de Seonhui, creo que fue una historia bastante linda y ligera, sus sentimientos son bastante caóticos, pero su interés amoroso está bastante enamorado de ella, y es súper lindo.

4ta estación: Invierno- Dongchae's Flower:

Creo que esta es otra historia bastante dura de leer, el ser la victima directa de este grupo de grupo, literalmente en donde lo llevan de un lado a otro únicamente para poder usarlo a su antojo. Podemos ver mucho el cómo su hermana es quien está más interesada en terminar con todo esto, pero a la vez es una fuerza mucho mayor que ella sola no puede manejar.

También existe el miedo de hablar, de informar todo lo que sucede y que las consecuencias sean algo peor, o que los adultos no escuchen.

Una cosa específica que me gusto, fue la influencia de las vicitimas pasadas como Gaeul y Hamin, el como ellos, especialmente Hamin, impacto mucho en querer salvar a este chico.

Algo que me gusto de la historia, no solo al ser el final, es como todos los personajes de las distintas temporadas realizan su acto de presencia aquí, podemos ver cuanto han crecido a lo largo de las estaciones, y así mismo ellos aportan una luz a la historia de Dongchae. Podemos ver los cierres de sus historias, en donde es realmente lindo poder decirles adiós viéndolos felices.

Weano, wenoooo

ES QUE LO AMO, JODER QUE GRAN HISTORIA NO TENIA MUCHAS EXPECTATIVAS YA QUE ERA UN COLEGIAL PERO LO AME
×

al inicio, los primeros diez capítulos, me tentaron mucho abandonar la historia ya que veía que iba a sufrir muchísimo, sentía que iba a haber mucho drama amoros y aunque si lo hubo, me gusto como se llevó a cabo

Bomy y Jinyeong me son una pareja muy tierna, son unos tomates que adoro aaaaah

Al inicio no estaba muy segura realmente, me gustaba más Jaemin pero cuando Jin sonrio por primera vez dije: me vendí al enemigo, ya caí

Ame la historia, ahora pasaremos a la siguiente y estoy super emocionada siiiiuu [edit 27/04/22]


Después de mucho tiempo, relei por completo esta historia, me hizo feliz releerla aunque no la recordaba tal así, de igual forma me encantó y la pasé muy bien, a la vez que crecí empecé a entender más esta historia, la que antes encontraba como un romance escolar ahora lo encuentro de una manera para ayudar a los adolescentes y quienes están por llegar esa etapa, realmente es increíble.

First volume laid out the foundation for the series. The premise is your typical shoujo story set in high school; it focuses on friendship and love. Characterization is also pretty good. Additionally, I love the tall girl x shorter guy troupe since you don't often see stories like this.

Although, I am honestly not a fan of the miscommunication troupe and am quiet nervous how the truth will come out. But then, that's how our characters grow--they make mistakes and they learn from it (hopefully).

I look forward to more from this series.

Very sweet!

It's a bit cliched with the fl being nice, smart and basically everyone loves her(ngl i love her too), and how it has every element any romance manhwa has except for the fact that the ml is tiny, but!! It's enjoyable nevertheless i really like it and i loovve the pretty artstyle. 10/10

Also the confession chapter was *chef kiss* adorable.

I can totally see it getting a live action adaptation and i hope it does :'3
